Answer: Yes the ladder will reach the fire
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.
The fire is at point A, while the top of the truck is at point C. The fire is actually burning at 22 feet off the ground, but because the fire truck itself is already 6 feet off the ground, the point that would serve as the base of the building would be 16 feet from the third floor (which is 22 feet minus 6 feet). Hence, point A to point B is 16 feet. So we need to calculate if line AC (from the truck to the fire at the third floor, labeled as b) shall equal the length of the ladder which is 16-foot long.
The angle of the ladder with the top of the truck is 75 degrees. Therefore,
Sin 75 = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin 75 = 16/b
By cross multiplication we now have
b = 16/Sin 75
b = 16/0.9659
b = 16.56
If the distance from A to C is 16.56 feet, then the 16-foot long ladder would reach the fire.
Answer:
Third option
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we must write a quadratic equation in the vertex form.
We have the vertice. (-1, 5)
We know that the vertex form for a quadratic equation is:
.
Where (h, k) is the vertex.
So if the vertex is (-1, 5), the equation sought is:
Therefore the answer is the Third option.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it would be immensely helpful to know the equation of this parabola, we need to figure it out before we can continue. We have the work form of a positive upwards-opening parabola as
where a is the leading coefficient that determines the steepness of lack thereof of the parabola, x and y are coordinates of a point on the graph, and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. We know the vertex: V(-3, -3), and it looks like the graph goes through the point P(-2, -1). Now we will fill in the work form equation and solve for a:
which simplifies a bit to
and
-1 = a(1) - 3. Therefore, a = 2 and our parabola is
Now that know the equation, we can find the value of y when x = -3 (which is already given in the vertex) and the value of y when x = -4. Do this by subbing in the values of x one at a time to find y. When x = -3, y = -3 so the coordinate of that point (aka the vertex) is (-3, -3). When x = -4, y = -1 so the coordinate of that point is (-4, -1). The average rate of change between those 2 points is also the slope of the line between those 2 points, so we will use the slope formula to find it:
And there you have it! I'm very surprised that this question sat unanswered for so very long! I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier!
The answer is B, I'm on the test now.
In this case you have:
